You know what, when I see a woman in a male dominated field like infantile fcking tech, I have found they are literally 2x-10x better than their peers. That they can cut through bullshit, navigate metric tons of stupidity and still get their jobs done. They are in the position in spite of their sex, not because of it.

If you can't help think it, it is probably because you believe it. If you look for excuse you will find one.

Maybe you could illuminate another forum with your wisdom.

So either your organisation is horribly sexist by not promoting these women or you are horribly sexist and think they are better because they are women.

Those are the only two options?

Do you have another reason a developer 10x better than her peers isn’t promoted to senior, to principal, etc?

That 10x developer. or ninja, or unicorn, are just bullshit titles/prepositions by itself?
